Editora Melhoramentos published its first title —Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling— in 1915. It was, as well, the first book printed in full color in Brazil and the beginning of a solid series of children’s books that would be published with a lot of success in the following years. Since then, the publishing house has built a reputation for its pioneering view, literary quality and high printing standards for children and young adults’ books. For more than a century, Melhoramentos has kept its editorial pillar by publishing Brazilian renowned authors as well as national new talents in writing and illustration. In addition, it has worked to enlarge its portfolio with important non-fiction titles, awarded cookbooks and a collection of great dictionaries, like the famous Michaelis series.
